Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 377, authored by Assemblyman David Tangipa. It requires the California High Speed Rail Authority to develop a detailed business plan that reviews any funding gaps or project delays. It is specifically for the initial phase, which will stretch from Merced to Bakersfield.

At the end of April, the Transit Costs Project released a report: it's called How to Build High-Speed Rail on the Northeast Corridor. As the name suggests, the authors of the report had a simple goal: the stretch of the US from DC and Baltimore through Philadelphia to New York and up to Boston, the densest stretch of the country. It's an ideal location for high-speed rail. How could you actually build it — trains that get you from DC to NYC in two hours, or NYC to Boston in two hours — without breaking the bank?That last part is pretty important. The authors think you could do it for under $20 billion dollars. That's a lot of money, but it's about five times less than the budget Amtrak says it would require. What's the difference? How is it that when Amtrak gets asked to price out high-speed rail, it gives a quote that much higher?We brought in Alon Levy, transit guru and the lead author of the report, to answer the question, and to explain a bunch of transit facts to a layman like me. Is this project actually technically feasible? And, if it is, could it actually work politically?* How to cut time off the Northeast Corridor* Operations coordination as a time-saver* The move away from the Mad Men commuter* Was our episode on the Green Line extension wrong?The full transcript for this conversation is at www.statecraft.pub.

On this week's Access Hour, we bring you a conversation with Gareth Dennis, a United Kingdom-based engineer and author, who was hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance (https://www.hsrail.org) on July 11, 2025 for a discussion about his new book How the Railways Will Fix the Future. In it, he looks at the history of railways (including the role they have played in extraction and exploitation) but focuses on their power to tackle issues facing us today and to shape a better future. Topics for discussion included lessons to learn from global railway operations on what works best long-term, and what this might mean in the United States. The conversation starts with introductions from staff of the High-Speed Rail Alliance, Rick Harnish and Chris Ott.

本集简介 / Episode Summary / エピソード概要：中文： 这期节目我想跟大家聊聊中国的高铁，顺便对比一下坐飞机的体验。我这次从秦皇岛坐高铁去了丹东，发现相比飞机，高铁不仅更方便，还更省钱，坐着也更舒服，对行李也没那么多限制。节目里我会结合自己的真实经历，跟大家聊聊这趟高铁旅行的感受，还有我觉得高铁胜过飞机的几个理由。English: In this episode, I talk about China's high-speed rail and how it compares to flying. On my recent trip from Qinhuangdao to Dandong, I found the train to be not only more convenient and affordable, but also more comfortable—with fewer restrictions on luggage. Based on my own experience, I'll share the reasons why I think traveling by high-speed rail can be better than flying in many cases.日本語： 今回のエピソードでは、中国の高速鉄道と飛行機を比べながら、高鉄の魅力についてお話しします。私は最近、秦皇島から丹東まで高鉄で移動しましたが、飛行機よりも便利で安くて快適、しかも荷物の制限もゆるいと感じました。実際の旅の体験を通して、高鉄のおすすめポイントをご紹介します。#高铁 #飞机 #公共交通 #HighSpeedRail #AirTravel #PublicTransport #lifeinchina#高速鉄道 #飛行機 #公共交通機関 #中国生活 发短信给我！ Send me a text!Support the show如果您喜欢我的播客，欢迎通过下方方式表达您的支持。您的支持对我来说是巨大的鼓励。但无论如何，我都很感激有您作为听众。能够每周与您分享几分钟的时光，对我来说是莫大的荣幸。❤️ If you enjoy my podcast, you're welcome to show your support through the options below.

On this episode, we examine how far high speed rail has come in Illinois. With 110 mile per hour trains running between Chicago and St. Louis, advocates are talking about trains going twice as fast.

It's time for our daily chat with KCBS Insider Phil Matier, hosted by KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott. The CEO of the state's oft-criticized high-speed rail project is out with a plan he hopes will get the system built.

Journeys that once took hours now take only half the time. Bullet trains and high-tech infrastructure have changed the way we think about time and distance. And the evolution continues, as Beijing and Tokyo move forward with their visions of the future. CNA's Tan Si Hui and Michiyo Ishida join Teresa Tang in this episode.

Shades of hope and doubt swirled around Dallas City Hall last week when city officials unveiled a study that fortified the long-discussed high-speed rail project as a billion-dollar economic engine for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In other news, thousands of electric customers in North Texas were without power Sunday night as a round of severe storms pounded the region; three people were wounded Saturday in a shooting outside a Waffle House in Irving. Officers were dispatched about 6:15 a.m. to the 2000 block of East State Highway 356, near Fleming Avenue, where police said they found three people had been shot in the restaurant's parking lot; and a Dallas County jury awarded $9.45 million to a man who suffered injuries at Hotel Crescent Court while walking his dog. The verdict came after a week-long trial in the 162nd Judicial District Court, where jurors heard evidence that the hotel failed to secure or warn guests about a dangerous condition in its courtyard that led to James Shelton McClure's fall shortly after midnight on March 6, 2021.

California's high-speed rail project has turned into a $128 billion nightmare, and somehow officials are still acting like everything's going according to plan. What was supposed to be completed in 2020 hasn't even finished a single mile of track—not one mile—after burning through $6.9 billion in taxpayer money.In this video, we break down the federal Railroad Commission report that exposes this train to nowhere for what it really is: a colossal boondoggle with no viable path forward. The project has exploded from $30 billion to $128 billion—a mind-boggling $100 billion overrun—while creating nothing but excuses and bureaucratic finger-pointing. The Biden administration allocated $4 billion more, but even that's on the chopping block as the new Transportation Secretary demands accountability.How does a government project balloon by over 300% with zero miles of completed track? What happens when California inevitably comes begging for more taxpayer money? This is exactly the kind of government waste that drives hardworking taxpayers crazy. Hit subscribe if you're tired of watching your money disappear into these bureaucratic black holes, and let me know in the comments what you think should happen to this project.

The Trump administration signaled Wednesday that it intends to cut off federal funding for a long-delayed California high-speed rail project plagued by multibillion-dollar cost overruns, following the release of a scathing federal report that concluded there is “no viable path” to complete even a partial section of the line.

Miles Kauffman, Masters Of City and Regional planning student at Georgia Tech, came on the show to tell us about an Atlanta to Orlando high speed rail study he is conducting. It was such a privilege to connect with him after attending a Georgia Geospatial Association (https://gageospatial.org/) networking event in Atlanta a few months ago then being referred to him by an attendee there. At the beginning of the video, a couple of tram/trolley animations were shown. For Adelaide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tFV4WMZUNc. For Los Angeles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH9toJw6-k8. Thanks Miles for coming on and giving us hope that there is a future for high speed rail in the American South beyond Florida's Brightline.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has released a scathing report exposing what he said is the unfeasibility of California's long-troubled high-speed rail project — and is threatening to pull the plug on a plan that already has the federal government on the hook for $6.9 billion while Californians are underwriting an additional $9 billion.

It feels like there's never much of a progress report when it comes to where things are at with the proposed high speed rail line between Sydney and Newcastle. The Federal Government is still yet to commit to building the game-changing infrastructure despite the establishment of the High Speed Rail Authority in 2023.

Send us a textBullet trains have been a major component of transit systems in places like Japan, China, and Europe for decades. Why hasn't high-speed rail taken root in the supposedly forward-thinking United States? Mark and Joe set off on a journey of discovery through issues like inadequate infrastructure, population density, and the usual economic and political obstacles before reaching its terminus in America's ongoing, dysfunctional love affair with cars.  Daunting as these challenges are, there's still a way forward, if we have the will to get there (a big if). (Recorded May 30, 2025.)

Senator Tony Strickland joins the show to discuss a report that the high-speed rail needs an additional $3.2 billion in order to complete the Bakersfield to Merced line. Blake asks the audience "How much money will we continue to dump into CA's High Speed Rail?"

Ian Choudri, CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, is advocating for private investment to rescue the state's ambitious rail project. With costs exceeding $100 billion and federal funding at risk, Choudri emphasizes the need for stable financing and public-private cooperation. He is in discussions with Governor Gavin Newsom's administration and lawmakers to secure financial guarantees for private investors. Choudri believes that without private sector involvement, the state may need to issue new bonds or seek federal loans.

All across America, critical government infrastructure projects — building EV charger stations, expanding broadband, building rail tunnels — are stalled or abandoned. According to trail-blazing government reformer Philip Howard, powerlessness to get things done has become a defining feature of America. Listen and learn why, and how things can change.

On Friday's show: A number of fascinating and controversial bills are getting hearings these days in Austin over abortion, religion in schools, and high speed rail. We discuss them all.First, we examine a bill that would directly impact a long-debated proposed high speed rail line between Houston and Dallas. Then, we learn about legislation that would offer doctors and nurses guidance on when they could, in the rarest circumstances, provide an abortion in Texas.And this week's “non-expert” panel weighs in on bills in Austin that would bring religion more directly into Texas public schools as they break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And producer Brenda Valdivia completes her quest to create the ultimate Houston sandwich.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  For a cost of only $40 Billion, California set out to build a high-speed railway from San Francisco and Sacramento to Los Angeles. The opening date? Well, it was supposed to be 2020. Now, the cost of the project has ballooned to more than $100 Million and won't open until 2030... with the system not being fully operational until 2050. Oh, and the state says they now need another $7 Billion to finish the part they're working on now. The hosts talk about this “colossal failure” of a project.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, a republican representing California's third district, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss many of the ongoing failures brought on California by California's Democratic leadership. Guy and Rep. Kiley discussed the federal investigation into California's high-speed rail debacle, a $130 billion boondoggle with nothing to show for it. Rep. Kiley met with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to announce the investigation, and Guy discusses. Rep. Kiley and Guy also dive into Gov. Gavin Newsom's efforts to "Trump proof" California and prevent Trump's policies to be implemented, and the pair also discussed the AP's blatantly lie claiming that CA water policy did not effect the latest LA wildfires.

Billions and billions—hundreds of billions—of dollars over budget.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/RepJasmine/status/1887904378427949316?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1887904378427949316%7Ctwgr%5E3d34a4149b0555768b74aeaa088f9c2ffc417725%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F02%2Fcrockett-blasts-trump-jobs-report-goes-silent-turns%2F https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1885582076247712229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1885582076247712229%7Ctwgr%5E016db05fbd8e39cdcf8de95e6133b951f5135066%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F02%2Felon-musk-announces-common-sense-agreement-between-doge%2F https://twitter.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1888359978278199802 Trump announces Alaska pipeline used for joint venture between Japan and America Trump announces Alaska pipeline used for joint venture between Japan and America Japan gets oil that's closer to home, and America gets to expand some of its energy exports to Asia, according to Must Read Alaska.

Trump touted tariffs throughout his campaign and during his inauguration said tariff revenue would make the U.S. "rich as hell." He also said that tariff revenue would lower the tax burden on American taxpayers. On Friday, the president said he would announce reciprocal trade agreements next week with multiple countries.
